Saturday’s afternoon action is focused mainly on the foot of the table as the likes of Fulham, Hull, West Brom and Aston Villa all face crunchy fixtures. The quartet of three o’clock kick-offs will do their best to hold our attention, before our focus switches to Old Trafford as a desperate Norwich arrive to take on Ryan Giggs’ United.

It has to be said, Fantasy talent is at premium and perhaps limited to Christian Eriksen’s display at Stoke and Wilfried Bony’s quest for further goals at home to Villa. In the main, we’ll save our energies for the tea-time clash as we get to assess the impact of David Moyes’ departure and the “Giggs’ effect” on the Red Devils. With a double fixture looming in Gameweek 37, the Old Trafford teamsheet will be of keen interest, as will the performance from United’s key attacking assets.

Full details of the day’s starting lineups can be found via our Twitter feed, while the Dugout Discussion chatroom remains opens for those looking to indulge in some real-time banter.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Ryan Giggs talks to Sky Sports: "It's been surreal and the hardest part has been leaving players out. To be honest with you I could have picked two teams. It's part of the job and I've got to do it, but leaving players out wasn't nice.

    "With Juan Mata I've gone with two centre forwards and I want us to get off to a fast start. Fellaini is unfortunate not to make the bench but he will be involved in the coming weeks.

    "I want to put my own stamp on things, even if it's just for these four games. I've told the players to enjoy it, express themselves and trust each other. I can't wait for kick off. It will be a proud moment."
